HARWOOD, N.D. – Firefighters from Harwood and West Fargo are fighting a fire that has heavily damaged a home at 6913 48th Ave. N. that was reported about 2:26 p.m. Friday, March 17, a spokesman for the Cass County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, they reported by radio that the south side of the home was fully engulfed in flame.

About 95 percent of the fire was contained by about 4 p.m., but the home appeared to be a total loss, Sgt. Tim Briggeman said.

There were no injuries reported, he said.

County Road 17 was shut down north of County Road 20 through Harwood to allow fire crews and other first responders unhindered access to the site, Briggeman said.
